Video tutorial: Introduction to Adobe’s mobile platform
Adobe’s mobile platform has become a lot more interesting for Flash developers this week. Instead of having to open up the Flash Player on your device to watch the Flash content you created, you can now package your application using the Mobile Packager and distribute your application as an SIS-file for Symbian S60 or CAB-file for Window Mobile phones. Your users can now download and install your Flash based application on their mobile device just like any other application they install. What’s even cooler is that we also package a Flash Version Checker together with your application. As soon as the user launches the application, the Flash Version Checker is going to check if the Flash Player is installed and if it is the correct version. If not, it’s going to download and install the Flash Lite runtime seamlessly. Exactly like you would do on a PC and exactly as it should be. Check out Andrew Shorten’s blog post on the installation process.
I’ve recorded a little video that walks you through the process and will be doing more videos on how to build mobile applications soon.
